Interesting, but what about non-PL clubs?
Winning this would be nice but in all honesty, I couldn't care less about this game.
No injuries and maybe a cameo from Sanchez would be a decent outcome.

It's Chelsea. I hope we smash them and watch their fans squirm trying to make excuses about friendlies and squad health, etc.

They would get the points in their league. It would never happen anyway but it would be good to make it a more meaningful game, or just scrape it.

Not an important game, but we should try hard to get a win of course. One game at a time, always look for a win

I'll just be glad to see a semi-competitive game and get one step closer to the season opener. Looking forward to watching Lacazette and Kolasinac. Of course a win is always nice.

Winning at Wembley is always special, no matter the occasion. I just love that place. Wish we could play there every year in cup finals.

Would prefer not to win this.

Ever since Roman took over I always think Chelsea will beat us, but this Conte Chelsea never gives me the same feeling. They are the most beatable for Arsenal since the russian money came in.
2-0 to the Arsenal.

I've felt this same way for a while but didn't want to come across as super negative because i'm new here. But damn I don't know whats happened to Arsène's eye for talent. The banter years had a better starting 11 than this.

His eye for talent is still fine, it's just that the competition for talent is immense nowadays. Everybody is investing heavily in scouting networks and on top of that data analysis methods and services have evolved so much that basically anybody with an internet connection can do a pretty decent analysis on any half-promising player practically for free. There are very few hidden talents nowadays.
Wenger has probably one of the best eyes for talent still but we can't get as much competitive edge for it now as we did in the past. We still have a lot of talent but so do others. Most players who are better or even at a level that they might develop to be better than what we have cost **** loads of money

Asia Cup + Emirates Cup + Community Shield.

No injuries please....
Özil, Gabriel and Ramsey have injury concerns. Mustafi, Holding and Chambers are short of fitness as is Alexis and Wilshere. Coquelin is also coming back from injury. Absolutely no need to do fitness tests and risk people when a weeks additional training and rest would see them fully fit for the start of the season.

That would be my team if you are talking about putting out a fully fit side in the view to our first match and not showing our hand.

I agree.
It's better to think of this game as being another preseason friendly and then act accordingly.
The priority should absolutely be the 1st league game.
I can't think of a better time to just throw Nelson in at the deep end.
